Oklahoma Ag Tech Field Day Aug. 9Oklahoma Producers can get a firsthand look at the latest precision agriculture technologies and speak with experts at the 2007 Oklahoma Ag Technology Field Day Aug. 9 in Chickasha. The 9 a.m., to 4 p.m., field day will take place at the Grady County Fairgrounds and Events Center, located west of the H.E. Bailey Turnpike (Interstate 44) along Highway 62. Registration will begin at 8:30 a.m., with refreshments. Lunch will be provided on-site. "Educational programs and demonstrations will be scheduled throughout the day," said Randy Taylor, Oklahoma State University Cooperative Extension agricultural engineer. "You can't miss this unique field day that not only shows the technologies but provides an opportunity to speak with the experts who have developed, evaluated and used them." Precision agriculture technologies highlighted will include sensor-based nitrogen management, strategies to reduce sprayer drift, economics of sprayer control systems, selection of a Global Positioning System and using technology for on-farm comparisons. "Participants are encouraged to use the ride-and-drive area to try out the latest GPS guidance systems," Taylor said. "The field day also will feature demonstrations of automatic boom-section control and automatic boom-height control for sprayers." The field day is sponsored by Ag Leader Technologies, Capstan Ag Systems, Outback Guidance, OSU and TEEJET Technologies. Other exhibitors include N-Tech Technologies, Veris Technologies and Hypro. Taylor said the Grady County Fairgrounds location provides easy access to the interstate highway, downtown Chickasha and Oklahoma City's Will Rogers World Airport.
